The CDT in NLP offers unique, tailored doctoral training comprising both

The studentships are fully funded for the four years and come with a
generous allowance for travel, equipment and research costs.

The CDT brings together researchers in NLP, speech, linguistics, cognitive
science and design informatics from across the University of Edinburgh.
Students will be supervised by a world-class faculty comprising almost 60
supervisors and will benefit from cutting edge computing and experimental
facilities, including a large GPU cluster and eye-tracking, speech, virtual
reality and visualisation labs.

The CDT involves a number of industrial partners, including Amazon,
Facebook, Huawei, Microsoft, Naver, Toshiba, and the BBC. Links also exist
with the Alan Turing Institute and the Bayes Centre.

A wide range of research topics fall within the remit of the CDT:

* Natural language processing and computational linguistics

* Speech technology

* Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision

* Information retrieval and visualization, computational social science

* Computational models of human cognition and behaviour, including language
and speech processing

* Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and educational
technology

* Psycholinguistics, language acquisition, language evolution, language
variation and change

* Linguistic foundations of language and speech processing.

The next cohort of CDT students will start in September 2023. Around 12

(currently ?17,668 per year) plus tuition fees.

Studentships are open to all nationalities and we are particularly keen to
